has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you
delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate,
when he had decided to let Him go.
003:014 Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked
as a favour the release of a murderer.
003:015 The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him
from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
003:016 It is His name--faith in that name being the condition--
which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know;
and the faith which He has given has made this man sound
and strong again, as you can all see.
003:017 "And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you
did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
003:018 But in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made
through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
003:019 Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record
of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons
of revival from the Lord,
003:020 and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand
for you--even Jesus.
003:021 Heaven must receive Him until those times of which God has spoken
from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--
the times of the reconstitution of all things.
003:022 Moses declared, "`The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet
for you from among your brethren as He has raised me.
In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
003:023 And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that
Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
003:024 Yes, and all the Prophets, from Samuel onwards--all who have spoken--
have also announced the coming of this present time.
